An interesting letter giving an account
Of the industrial training system in the
schools of Hesse-D arnstadt, Germany,
was recently published in Science. 1t
seems that in the girls schools some kind
of necdlcwork has always been taught.
'FrOIn the very earliest times Of school
history girls have been known to take
their knitting and sewing to school, and,
in the early part Of this century, not
only the girls, but the boys also, used
TO knit their own stockings at school.
This work, however, was performed SIM
ply for the sake Of the stockings which it
produced. At the present time the pIac-
teal end has not been lost sight Of, but
the educational end has become the more
important The parent furnishes the
child with the needed material, which, Of
course, it's work may render worthless;
yet, for all this, no one complains that
the training does not pay. The FIRST les
sons in sewing are the use Of the thimhle
and scissors, threading the needle aud the
ways of holding the cloth while sewing
and cutting. The stitch lesson is first
performed On paper; after a while cheap
kind Of muslin is substituted" Patch
ing and mending are thoroughly taught.

In the BOYS schools of Germany indus

branch At Darmstadt it was begun
few years ago by private citizens, who
gave such instruction outside OF school
hours The results OF the experiment were
so satisfactory that the institution estab-
Iished was made part Of the public school
system. The o1Ecr schools close the daily
session about $50. The manual train
ing is therefore given during the
latter part of the afternoon. In
the summer time the boys are put to
work in the different gardens belonging
TO the institution. At other seasons of the
year they are engaged in the light ard

A FUNNY SUIT.
A Church Goer Sued for 1926, Because
lie Didn't Pray on Both Knees.

OTTAWA, Canada, Nov. 4.-One Of the
most extraordinary cases that mas ever
come uD before the supreme court Of the
Dominion has Just bean argued here. and is
likely to be carried to the imperial privy
council Of Great Rritian, the highest trib-
Unal in the realrl. before i IS finally dis
posed of. 1t involves the question o. right
OF the Roman Catholic church to exact or
collect fines from members Of the cOngrega-
ton who have failed to conform with the
rules OF the church. The case at Issue IS
that OF P0itras VS. LcbeGu. The suit arose
out of the refusal Of the appellant
to 'lneel OH both knesS during high
mass in the church Of Ste.
Anne du Bout de lISle, near Montreal.
Suit to recover $2.CJJ as damages was
brought against the respondent for having
instigated proceedings charging the APP
peliant with having committed in said
church an irreverent act, tor which he, the
appellant, had to pay the sum OF $50
penalty.
The case was tried by jury and YER
dict was rendered ia favor Of the respond
emit This verdict was moved against
before the court of review, when q new
trial was "rantad On the ground that the
evidence was contradictory and that the
plaintiff had suffered damages. The court
OF appeals reversed this Judgment and cor
firned the verdict appeal was then made
to the supreme court here.
In laying the case before the Judges of
the supreme court Poitras sta; I'd that on
Sunday. August Q, 1855, he WAS rowed
across the river to St AIMS 20 church. be
ing 10 weak after & recent illness to drive.
Finding no vacant seat when he entered
the church he remained near the door, ana
when knegIing time came attemted to fall
on both knees. but, on account OF 6he pain
which the effort caused him. could only
tacci on one knee The respondent, who
was constable OF the church, ordered him
To 1neel on both knees, to which Poitras re
Piled that he Wa, too II. After service the
respondent called him blackguard and
sad he world fix him. During the after
noon 81 he same day Poitras was ar
rested on a warrant charging him with
having committed in the church CT St.
Anne an &C. 0f irreverenca. in i,neelinG on
one knee only, the other beiag slightly
bent. Al the solicitation OF his friends, TO
avoid scandal he paid the amount demand

III his defense the respondent argues that
a bylaw. which is explained from the pull
pit every year, exists in the church. order
lng People to bncei on both knees, and no

Sacristry.
The case is being made test Of the right

ate rightly the risks in which Mr.
Chamberlain has involved Canada, one
must carefully consider the international
correspondence relating to the fisheries
dispute" The Globe then reviews at
length the results CT over two
years discussion between the United
States and the province of Canada, and
continues, The least or most concil atory

alternative to the acceptance q Mr.
